What motivates us to travel? Our passion for travel led the way to our purpose, a true ‘calling’ to help protect African wildlife through responsible tourism. With over fifteen years in the safari tourism industry, our founder offered tailor-made African safari experiences long before Wito Africa was born.

“Every calling is great when greatly pursued.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes
Coming from the north-eastern part of Africa, Tanzania, Abdullie Mfinanga grew up alongside creatures one would normally only watch on National Geographic.
Abdullie was inspired by the beauty of the wild land, and fell deeply in love with the incredible animals and surrounding Mother nature. He grew up in a wild-world filled with majestic safari animals. Imagine a tower of tall-necked giraffes, a march of gentle elephants, dazzling zebras, big cats and even endangered rhinos!
His desire was ignited to protect wildlife through his recollection of such wildlife roaming freely in vast sanctuaries without borders or fences. Ultimately, his passion to show this raw beauty to the wider world through responsible tourism drove him.
Wito Africa Safaris is a result of Abdullie’s natural passion for handcrafting once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and his genuine love for people, wildlife and conservation in Africa. Read More
Abdullie has been working in the industry for over 15 years: photographing beautiful landscapes, reaching the tallest mountain in Africa – the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, witnessing the glimmering white sandy beaches of Zanzibar and watching countless behind-the-scene encounters of diverse creatures in the wild ecosystem. He and his team of wildlife enthusiasts have developed a strong responsibility towards eco-tourism, finding never-ending new ways to improve the local welfare and to increase the protection of various endangered species.
“In my world, not many native Tanzanians get an opportunity to run their own business, a chance to go to high school/college, let alone get an education abroad; so I want to make mine meaningful and make a difference in the lives of women and children in Tanzania through sustainable tourism. I am making a contribution out of every safari sold towards sponsoring students and families who cannot afford to send their children to secondary school due to limited household income.“
~ Abdullie Mfinanga, Founder.
